Frequencies within the observable Light Spectrum of one octave.
SUBTRACTIVE COLORS (pigment) In print, we use cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY), which are known as subtractive colors. Subtractive means that one begins with white and ends with black: as you add color, the result gets darker. So, what happens when this is put to use? If you print CMY inks on paper, they absorb the light – your eye receives no reflected light from the paper and perceives black. CMYK and the 4 color process use a subtractive color process.
ADDITIVE COLORS (hue) On the opposite end of the spectrum, there is additive color. If you are working on a computer, the colors you see on the screen are created with light. These colors consist of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB). When those are combined, you get white. Essentially, this is the reverse of the subtractive process – as more color is added, the result is lighter and ends with white. RGB and Hexidecimal system use an additive process.
